Thanks for your list !

Can you tell Post Bop is my favorite sub-genre ? ;o)

The Mahavishnu O. box set contains a second disc of previously-unreleased tunes from the same gig as "Between Nothingness and Eternity".

"Oregon -- 1974" is an excellent 2 disc set from a European tour. I was fortunate to see them in the late 70’s and it remains one of my favorite shows of all I’ve attended.

I saw Les in 1975. That guy was extremely charismatic -- he could really work a crowd. He took us all to church, skillfully merging so-called "sacred" and "profane" elements together so that you couldn't tell where one ended and the other began. All you knew was it sure felt good!
